If I could give 10 stars I would

If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!


Really made a difference

Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.


Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.

Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.


An incredibly helpful service

An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!


Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.

Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.


IT WORKS!! Not a scam!

I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

This might sound crazy, but have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? I was stuck in EDD limbo for months, and their office actually helped me get it sorted out. Worth a shot!

I second this! My cousin did the same thing and it worked. Politicians love to help with this kinda stuff, makes them look good 😂

Wow, I never would have thought of that. I'll look into it, thanks!

Just a heads up, make sure all your docs are in order. They rejected my claim cuz I forgot to sign one stupid form. Double check everything!

Have you checked your account settings on their website? Sometimes there's a hold on funds for security reasons and you can release it yourself.

0 coins

I didn't even think of that! I'll go check right now, thanks for the suggestion.

I've been waiting for 3 months to get my claim sorted out. At this point, I'm considering hiring a lawyer. Has anyone gone that route?

Pro tip: if you're having trouble with your claim, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes they respond faster there than through official channels. Worth a shot!

0 coins

Really? I'll have to try that. What's their Twitter handle?

0 coins

@CA_EDD is their official account. Good luck!

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster. Worth a shot!

Just google your area + state representative. Most have a 'contact us' form on their website where you can explain your situation. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these kinds of issues.

Awesome, thanks! I'll give that a try if I don't get anywhere with my call tomorrow.

Im so tired of this. Been dealing with payment issues since last year. Sometimes I think they hope we'll just give up and go away 😫

Hang in there! Don't let them win. We're all in this together 💪

Quick question - did you receive any kind of confirmation when you initially filed for those months? Might be worth double-checking that everything was submitted correctly on your end.

0 coins

Yeah, I got confirmation emails for each month. That's why I'm so confused about the delay. Everything seemed to go through fine on my end.

0 coins

Hmm, that is weird. Definitely sounds like it's an issue on their end then. Hope you get it sorted soon!
